though mesh topology might require much cable, but it aids easy access to other network and reliability.

In a mesh networking, every node of the network is connected with all other nodes of the network. It is normally used for high redundancy of the network.

A wireless mesh network is like a mini internet that can be used for cities, colleges, and large businesses. The advantages are less expensive due no need to install wires and cables, very adaptable and easy to expand, and can handle more activity and higher traffic that traditional networks.

mesh topology typically refers to a Wide Area Network where there are multiple paths connecting multiple sites. A router is used to search multiple paths and determine the best path for the data. Routes are determined by least cost, time of day and performance. A three or four site mesh network is relatively easy to create, whereas it is impractical to set up a mesh network of 100 sites or nodes. Mesh networks are used in Wide Area Networks (WANs) where reliability is important and the number of sites being connected together is fairly small. A mesh network is costly to reconfigure, replace and administer. A mesh is best suited for situations where it will not need to be moved or expanded beyond five sites or nodes. If one site fails, an entire application can fail. Also known as a star network, a star topology is one of the most common network setups where each of the devices and computers on a network connect to a central hub. A major disadvantage of this type of network topology is that if the central hub fails, all computers connected to that hub would be disconnected. Below is a visual example of a simple computer setup on a network using the star topology.
